Quadruple split
Chapter 1660 Employment
In fact, Largo did not panic on the spot.
Five minutes later, the mercenary leader, who was helped back by Yaya and Jadeka, said to Mo Tan with a serious face that although he almost leaked at that time, he still held it back.
"But I was really in a bad state at the time..."
Largo, who was pale and sloppy, sat cross-legged in front of Mo Tan. He carefully picked up the water bag and took a sip. After moistening his chapped lips, he smiled bitterly: "Otherwise, if it weren't for worrying about me, Jadeka would Sir and Miss Yaya should be able to catch up with that person."
The old mage, who had obviously been running around since morning, but looked calm and not tired at all, shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Not necessarily. Although that woman's speed is not very fast, but the alchemy tools she threw But it’s very difficult.”
"It smells so sweet and makes me feel uncomfortable!"
Ya Ya also nodded vigorously beside her, and said seriously with a small face: "Wang feels that if she chases her too much, she might get lost by her."
"..."
After hearing this, Mo Tan, Ji Xiaoge and Lu Jiang immediately turned their attention to Jadeka. Obviously, they needed an interpreter who was present at the time.
"Ya Ya should be talking about poison."
The old mage frowned and said with a solemn expression: "That person's alchemy tools are basically poisonous, and they seem to be very poisonous, so Yaya and I both feel that if we chase too fast, we will probably fall into trouble. In addition, Captain Largo is not in good condition, and considering that the other party may have accomplices, we dare not get too far out of touch."
Largo clenched his fists hard and gritted his teeth with an extremely gloomy expression: "In short, the person I just saw should be the person who harmed us."
"probably."
Lu Jiang removed his hand from the lower abdomen of the last 'patient' and said softly: "At least the person who brought you to this end is definitely a guy who is proficient in poison making."
Ji Xiaoge, who was leaning on Wang Ba's guts, frowned slightly and confirmed to Jadeka: "I just heard the little bastard say that the other party is a woman?"
The old man nodded slightly: "Yes, she is a woman wearing soft armor, but she has her face covered, so she can't see clearly."
"Big breasts and a big butt?"
Ji Xiaoge continued to ask.
"this……"
Jadeka was stunned for a moment, and then he guessed that a certain bastard who ran back first said something extra. He smiled bitterly twice and then shook his head and said: "I didn't pay attention, but if it was the bastard who dared to say it, That shouldn’t be wrong.”
"That's weird..."
Ji Xiaoge knocked on his head anxiously and muttered: "If it had been a handsome guy, I would have been absolutely sure that the culprit was yesterday's gang of flower pickers called [Hunting Makeup]."
Mo Tan blinked and asked curiously: "You said before that it was probably a new grudge that had just been made, rather than an old grudge from the past. Are you referring to those two people last night?"
"To be precise, it should be the gang those two people belong to."
Ji Xiaoge bit his silver teeth lightly and said with disdain: "We have discussed this issue before. The reputation and reputation of the [King of Destruction] mercenary group in the industry have always been good, and they are also very principled in accepting tasks. He rarely makes enemies with others, and even if he occasionally has conflicts with other mercenary groups due to his stance, after the mission is over, he will most likely have a drink and have a fight in a tavern to settle the past grudges. In addition, except for transporting things to their hometown, they rarely come to the Gold Rush Triangle. Even if they come, they are just on the road non-stop, so after thinking about it..."
Mo Tan nodded slightly and continued softly: "If there is anyone who has a 'motive', then it would only be the two people who were beaten up yesterday, right?"
"No."
In the end, Largo shook his head and said seriously: "Strictly speaking, Birger and I didn't beat those two people hard at that time, but beat them half to death, although they were not directly within the sight range of the deserted store. Kill them within the time limit, but if they don’t receive proper treatment in time, the probability of them surviving is actually not much higher, only 40% at most.”
Jadeka stroked his beard and asked curiously: "So, Captain Largo, you mean that they really have enough reasons to kill you?"
"That's true, but please don't get me wrong. I have no intention of asking for favors from you."
Largo noticed that the well-informed old mage frowned slightly, and quickly waved his hand and explained: "Although Birger and I did act out of a desire to help last night, I found that Brother Mo actually also He is already ready for battle, and I am afraid that even if neither of us does anything, he will protect Miss Yege and Miss Xiaolu. If we think carefully, we are just doing something unnecessary."
Mo Tan immediately raised his hand to interrupt Largo's words, and said seriously: "You can't say that. Although I was sure to stop them at the time, I still don't know the details of those two people. If the situation is allowed to develop, it will eventually evolve into To what extent is unknown, so no matter what, you have been a great help to our team."
Jadeka also laughed, shook his head and said: "I didn't misunderstand anything, I was just a little scared. After all, according to what I said, we may also be the targets of their revenge, but if it were us, I'm afraid we wouldn't be so lucky. ...Of course, this is not good luck."
"No, let alone the two of us who took action, it would be useless even if the other party really wants to retaliate together. Unlike us, you live in Huangdian after all, and in the Gold Rush Triangle, there are also the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce, The Steam Consortium, the Adventurers Association, the Archaeologists Association and the Wanderer Hotel are the strongest force in the background, and they are also the delimiters of the rules in this area."
Largo turned his head and glanced in the direction of the [Desolate Store·Eighth Branch], his tone was rather awe-inspiring: "Except the Archaeologists Association, the other companies are not easy to mess with, especially in the gold mining industry. Now that the Triangle is becoming more and more lively, those forces are allocating more and more resources to the deserted store, and their control over this area has naturally increased. Although their actions are very conservative, if anyone dares to directly attack the guests of the deserted store …”
He didn't continue speaking, he just shrugged and put his hands on his neck making a rather fierce movement.
Mo Tan was stunned for a moment, then fell into silence thoughtfully.
Ji Xiaoge, on the other hand, patted Lalargo's arm, which was almost as thick as her waist, and said seriously: "But no matter what, it is a fact that you helped us!"
"Even if it's true, didn't Miss Xiaolu help us?"
Largo smiled at Lu Jiang, who had exhausted his magic power and had less than one-fifth of his physical energy left, and said in a concluding tone: "So we are even."
Ji Xiaoge pouted and glared: "What are you doing? Are you planning to draw a clear line with us?"
"No, no, no, on the contrary, not only do I not intend to draw a clear line with you, but I really want to make friends with you. More than that, I also want to ask you for something."
Largo changed the subject and said sternly: "But the premise of all this must be based on the fact that we recognize that we owe each other nothing. Otherwise, even if you are willing to help, we may not be able to establish a truly strong friendship. , after all, a favor is a favor, and a business is a business.”
"Business?"
Ji Xiaoge was immediately stunned, and Lujiang, Jadeka and Yaya next to him also showed confused expressions.
"Yes, business."
Largo nodded vigorously, and then without any further pretense, he simply said: "I want to hire you."
Everyone was shocked at that time, including Mo Tan and Wang Ba Dan who had remained silent from the beginning. They all said in surprise: "You want to hire us?"
"That's right, in the name of the leader of the [Destruction King] mercenary group, I hope to hire the [Woof Woof] adventurer team as an escort and immediately set off to send our team through the Barbarian Fang Wilderness to 'Luo' located in the southern part of the Savage Highlands. The sphere of influence of the Ya’ tribe.”
Holding his stomach that was making an ominous sound, Largo looked at everyone with a serious face and said with great solemnity: "As a reward, I am willing to pay three thousand gold coins, plus two mission priorities of the [Destruction King] mercenary group. , as long as it is a task below A level, we will arrange it for you as soon as conditions permit, and you do not need to go to the mercenary association, and the fee is only 70% of the normal market price, what do you think?"
"Escort you to Savage Heights..."
"Three thousand gold coins?"
"Priority of two missions? Do we mean it as a hirer?"
"Although I don't understand it very well, it still feels like a good deal."
"Wang thinks it's not a loss."
"It's not just a loss..."
Mo Tan, Ji Xiaoge, Lu Jiang, Jadeka, and Ya Ya looked at each other in confusion. After a few simple exchanges, they all looked a little confused.
"Ahem, I probably understand what you mean, Captain Largo."
Finally, less than half a minute later, Mo Tan, who was the first to come back to his senses, coughed slightly and turned to look at Largo, who was quietly waiting for a reply: "It seems that the road from here to the Savage Highlands is not smooth. How can it be peaceful?”
Largo nodded and answered bluntly: "Yes, the biggest problem is the Barbarian Fang Wilderness. It is not an orderly place over there. Both monsters and people are very aggressive. Although We all have space storage equipment, but some need to be carefully preserved. Food specially given to compatriots in the [Decadence Period] cannot be stored in different spaces, so although the trouble may not be particularly big, I am afraid it is inevitable. If everyone In a normal state, there is nothing to be afraid of, but now everyone, including me, is... somewhat unsafe."
"Have you ever considered leaving later?"
Lu Jiang raised his little hand and said seriously: "Didn't I say it before? Although those poisons are very fierce, your Highlanders' physiques seem to be very powerful. This level of burden can be cured in a week at most. If it is... Mr. Largo, a strong person like you can be almost healed in three or two days."
Largo waved his hand and said seriously: "I know what you mean, Miss Xiaolu, but we can't all live in a deserted store with more than thirty people, not to mention that there are not enough rooms there. Even if there are, cheap three We also need ten human rooms. Each room costs more than a hundred gold coins a day, which is eight to nine thousand a week. It is really too expensive. And if we continue to stay outside like now...since the other party can know the ghost. If you succeed the first time without realizing it, you may succeed again, and that would be too dangerous.”
"Well……"
Lu Jiang blinked and rubbed his cheeks nonchalantly: "That seems to make sense."
Ji Xiaoge fluttered its wings twice and asked curiously: "Why are you looking for us?"
"On the one hand, you are very powerful and have a relatively high level among the adventurer team. On the other hand, I think we will get along better. After all, although we Highlanders are an intelligent race, there are still many people there until now. They think we are primitive and barbaric. Of course, this misunderstanding is becoming less and less common, but now that I have gotten to know you, I don’t want to pick on others.”
Largo wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said with a smile: "There is also a very important point. There are not many druids in this area. Even if there are, the level of their skills may not be able to catch up with our self-healing ability. , there are too few excellent druids like Little Deer Girl who can help us stabilize our physical condition. If I can take you on the road with me, I will feel much more at ease."
Lu Jiang immediately scratched his hair shyly and let out a silly laugh: "Hey, actually, I'm not that powerful..."
"Sorry, Captain Largo."
After pondering briefly, as the soul and captain of the Wangwang team, Mo Tan smiled apologetically at the strong man in front of him: "This is not something that can be discussed and the result will be discussed immediately. Can you give us some time?"
"No problem. Anyway, in the words of Miss Xiaolu, it will take at least an hour or two before everyone can return to a state of being able to travel. So no matter how anxious we are, we won't be able to set off until noon at the earliest."
Largo smiled, then stood up and pointed to the shallow forest not far away: "Then I will go over there to solve the problem first... If you want to discuss it, you can go to the open space to the east of the camp. Let's The beasts of burden and supplies are over there.”
After that, the leader with a very heroic temperament limped away. In view of the fact that he had been holding it in for too long, even with Largo's physical fitness, he couldn't help but quicken his pace. In less than half a minute, In no time, he rushed into the woods and saw no one.
All the members of the Wangwang team walked to the east of the camp calmly, preparing to discuss a little...
"No need to discuss it, I agree."
Jadeka suddenly waved his hand and interrupted Mo Tan, who was about to preside over the discussion, and said with a smile: "Like you, I also have a good impression of this group of people, and I am also grateful to them for saving the little pigeon and the deer before. Don't Take care of me and go home, since I have this plan, when can I go back?"
"Okay, then it's decided."
Ji Xiaoge smiled and said, "Then let's go back quickly..."
"Wait a moment."
"Huh? What's wrong, Mo, what do you want to say? Isn't it objection?"
"How could it be? Since Lao Jia has no objections, of course I support this decision, but..."
"Just what?"
"I'm going to do something else, you go first."
"ha?"
"Well, I'll catch up with you later."
